2 questions (v5.5 & v7):

i. Created a simple (no relationships) runtime solution using v5.5 - it works fine on 3 Tiger Macs but, on a 4th, the docs are displayed as blank icons and double-clicking tries to open FontBook! I have applied a unique suffix and checked that 'Open With' is correct. Any other ideas as to why this should happen?

ii. I created the same runtime from v7, but it made a solution of 28.4mb (without the extensions), while the v5.5 runtime was only 9.2mb. Is this typical and, if so, are there any ways to trim it?

trim the runtime size down?... not really... fm7 has more features than fm5... so theres more dll's and backend hings... if you take a look the actual databases are around the same size...if they're not... ummmm... you've broken something lol... no just try exporting again if thats the case...

Thanks, I will recreate it, but the v7 db is 26.5mb (cf v5.5 6.2mb) and unable to display its size in the Finder's list view (as if it is a folder).

Much more of a problem is what would make a Mac not recognise it as a runtime solution? I don't have access to the Mac, the only thing I know to be different is that it has FMPro v3 installed.

My v7 runtime solutions are generally 4x there v5.5 equivalent (plus the extensions folder) - it's been suggested that something's wrong, can anyone suggest what? These are simple (non-relational) dbs and I go through identical creation process, without doing anything to the original, apart from converting it to v7.
